Not buying that pile of fecal matter twice.
I was really really disappointed with D4.

I don't want to give M$ any $ but... conflicted.
Keeping my WoW sub as next year is the 20th anniversary.
Still have my stupid fallout 1st sub (mostly for the junk storage and the cheaty world).
Oh, and M$ published a HowTo install Linux? A rather decent one too.
Don't give a rats patootie about consoles anyway. :P
Guess I'm just gonna have to see what they DO in the future.
(if they ever put the windows GUI on top of a Linux kernal and make their own distro...
well, that'll be the time to snag a keg. My brain will be thoroughly fried)
mumble....
(yes, I really really hate M$)

If I set monitor scaling to 125%, then steam seems to be the right size.
Everything ELSE is too large though.
sigh (and the scaling button in steam does nothing)

Scaling? bwahahahaaha!!!
Farking thing is totally borked.
The scaling option does absolutely nada. turn on/off no change. nuttin.
Fonts/pics are GINORMOUS!! unusable.
I've got 2 HD monitors and a 4k one. 4k in the center, hd on each side.
1) steam always goes to the left monitor. (#1 in settings), open settings/anything in steam, goes to monitor 1.
2) I can't even tell what size the fonts are, but oh 32 or so? Icons are also huge. (same scale)
3) Where are the bloody borders? Oh, right, morons are doing it as if it was a touch screen. Um, where is my clue by 4?
btw, this doesn't happen under windows. (same box, dual boot) ... well, except for no borders, but you have an area to grab to move the thing, and it remember to go on monitor 3. (right hand one)
OH, this is a beta version, right.... um.. HELLO!!! I did not opt in to to it! Oh right, someone messed up and pushed it to everyone. (it's in the forums)
NO, I'm not happy about this version. Bugs are one thing, but dagnabbit, do NOT push a touchscreen interface onto the PC.
aka, console vs PC. (yes, it is a pet bugaboo of mine)
harrumph.
AND GIT OFF MA LAWN!!
;p

Valheim gets upgraded to improve performance and fix major bugs

Ok, the boar rune with no weapons would be annoying. (yet, all that meat and scrap leather early on, would be nice)
Ohhhhh....... 1 or 2 star boar WOULD eat you for lunch with no club/shield.
Finding that right off comes under the "RNG hates you" category.
You want to find those after you have some kind of shelter setup, so you can tame them.
(a buddy loves to tame the critters, I tend to just kill everything that moves)

also in the starting altar are 2 mushrooms and a berry bush.
GET THE FOOD!
There should be enough rocks and twigs to make an axe.
Make that first.
Us the ax on the small saplings to get enough wood to make a club.
Oh, on the flight in, look about and see where the coast is, relative to the altar.
You want to be fairly close to it. (for boats!)
Pigs take just a couple hits with empty fists to kill. (unlike boars in 7 days to die!)
oh, don't try and fight when on steep hills, that is a known issue. (hitbox problems)
(at least until you get to the magic stage, then blast away with fireballs. hee-hee)
edit: if yer using a controller, try keyboard/mouse.

Well, the wolf raids were/are just meat delivery systems.
(same for the first ones where Eik rallies the critters of the forest)
Greydorfs are eye delivery systems.
Trolls are just annoying.
Skellies are a hoot! Bones asplodey everywhere.
The swamp stinks :P
Goblins, well, ha-ha, uh-wut? Free money.
Bug raids are really really annoying.
Only thing that bugs me about the raids, is timing. Always when I am just about out of rested bonus. :(
(actually, for the greydorfs, I get more of them when building a new temp base in the black forest,
than during a raid.)
I like the sliders though.
